Job 36:16 in Context — Job 36

14 A alma deles morrerá em sua juventude, e sua vida entre os pervertidos.

15 Ele livra o aflito de sua aflição, e na opressão ele revela a seus ouvidos.

16 Assim também ele pode te desviar da boca da angústia [para] um lugar amplo, onde não haveria aperto; para o conforto de tua mesa, cheia dos melhores alimentos.

17 Mas tu estás cheio do julgamento do perverso; o julgamento e a justiça te tomam.

18 Por causa da furor, [guarda-te] para que não sejas seduzido pela riqueza, nem que um grande suborno te faça desviar.
